This is the famed LCD topgun, a lightgun created for PS2/Xbox/PC to work on LCD and Plasma monitors/TVs: http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-1i-49-en-15-gun-50-13-70-16s7.html Several ads claim that this will work on PS3 systems. This would be useful since the Guncon 3 is not backwards compatible. Has anyone ever tried this? How would that work, or would it have problems like the PS2 versions of Guitar Hero? If not, can it work with a PS2 using Component at least? Thanks
I honestly couldn't tell you if it works on the PS3 or not, but as long as the original Guncon 1/2 work (and many have said that they do), then it should work. However, I have this gun and it is useless unless you have the ability to stand at least 6 feet away from the screen. It MUST be able to see all of the LED emitters in order to work at all. On my 27" hybrid arcade machine (which houses a PS2 and Xbox), I have the LED strands placed vertically (see pic here) and must stand back at least 6 feet from the screen. If you have a bigger screen, expect to stand back further.
